Thank goodness no-one told George Eastman that when he decided to sell the first (viewfinderless) Kodak - just imagine where photography would be now!

If you want to chuck grenades thats fine, I would rather aim down sights. And I don't see how Eastman figuring out how to save money has to do with taking a picture!

Hmmm ... I see a goat and a sheep ... but no pigs!
Incidentally the goat's name is Jaffa and the sheep is called Minty ... I thought you needed to know this.
I'd posted some police officers directly before Jaffa and Minty, and Minty looked a bit sheepish to me ... btw is minty to be served rare? like they do on e-bay

it's more about acquiring a different skill, with lots of practice and feedback.
this can be the venue for help.
it's rather difficult to take 25 out of 36 hip shots and only get 4 to 5 near the perfect.

I like these shots.
By using a different technique, you have made a potentially mundane subject/scene (photographically speaking, I'm not saying the people in the pictures are mundane
) into something that has interest.

It's a technique (among many others).
Therefore just like any other techniques, how much skill you want to develop in using it, is up to you.

I find 50mm is bit too long for the hip shot. Sometimes it does not cover whole picture I envisioned to capture. I believe it is a necessary technique when 'intrusion' may disturb the scene.

Ride, dive, shoot.
I personally prefer 50mm with FTH shots. I guess my brain remembers the FOV.
A few more.

Possibly silly question, but have any of you considered putting a bubble level on your cameras to facilitate composing without use of a viewfinder?
